b is for beaver

sure, if you want to "flash your V" or "swing the pink", Royals' Kauffman stadium is the place to be. but now... well, i'm in Beaver territory.

these delicious beers were $8.25 (yes, EACH.)

p.s. and for those of you who aren't familiar with the kansas city royals and their interesting ad campaigns, "flash your V" and "swing the pink" were two recent examples of well-intended but misguided slogans to engage the crowd. i'm not sure if the guys in charge of the promotional materials understand the concept of "sounds dirty, but isn't". but apparently, no. they don't.

something you should know if you live here #32

big head, small helmet

joren takes to the waves in a sea kayak. i sat on the beach on a big log poking a stick in a fire, but there are no pictures of that. just joren in a funny little helmet.





he also had on a neprene hat. so did i, on my log.

what looks like a wopat and smells like a wopat?

uh huh. tom wopat. luke duke. i met him at a small firework-watching get together. apparently he was in town doing "chicago". no, i didn't tell him i hate musicals. and yes, there were fireworks. wopat fireworks.



and this is tom's brother. so in essence, a wopat sandwich. which is as gross as it sounds.
